Answer
Yes, life, temperature and water would all be badly affected.

Explanation

  • There would be no oxygen, so we could not breathe.
  • Without the greenhouse effect, Earth would lose heat and turn too cold.
  • So water would freeze and not stay liquid.
  • That is why no atmosphere means no life as we know it.
No atmosphere means no air, no warmth and no liquid water.
